Enthusiasm and determination were not evident in varsity football scores this season, but rather in the players themselves. Jimmy Givens, Superior Northern California leader in pass receptions, led the league with 5l pass receptions and scored five touchdowns. Coach Mike Roof praised Givens for his willingness and concentration on his iob. Although the football team had a l-5 league record, the players stayed together as a team and kept their spirit high. Coach Roof felt that this year's team maybe the best group that he has coached, being good citizens, hanging together as a team, and progressing throughout the season. Roof praised the team as a whole, and gave special mention to Jim Givens, Lon Hatamiya, Tony Jow, Joe Palacio, Chris DeMattei, George Madruga, and Charles DeForest as outstanding players on the varsity football team. lniuries took its toll on this year's football team, plaguing the players throughout the season. Another problem facing Coach Roof, was the lack of team size. Confidence overcame smallness during the latter part of the season, helping the varsity overcome Oakmont. At season's end, five Marysville High School players were named to the Sierra Foothill All-League team. Wide receiver Jim Givens and defensive halfback Joe Palacio were named to the first string team, while linebacker Chris DeMattei, Quarterback Lon Hatamiya, and offensive lineman Tony Jow were named to the second team. Despite having a struggling and disappointing season, varsity team battled on through the season with the continued interest and support of the community and school. FRONT ROW: D. Schoonover, D.

With a league record of l-3-2, the iunior varsity football team had a building year. llnexperience and key iniuries played a maior role in the performance of the team. Starting out with only 28 players, the team could not afford to lose players. Coach Greg Robinson stated that the team had no outstanding individual players, but that the offensive and defensive teams themselves were the standouts. Both offensive and defensive squads played up to their capabilities, losing most of their contests by a small margin. Spirit fluctuated throughout the season, but the team stayed together. Coach Robinson felt that the best quality of the team was that every player knew their own iob and never got mad at one another for making a mistake. Highlight of the season for the JV's was their 28-O win over rival Lindhurst. Scoring touchdowns came easily to the offense, while the defense completely bottled up Lindhurst's offense. This smashing victory in the last game of the season left the team with sweet memories in what was otherwise a struggling year. E --W, 1 . l r FRONT ROW: Coach Palacio, R. Shadd, B. Youngman, C.
